Heaven-sent images
Watching the sunset from this house is always a treat, and much better than television. Today was especially spectacular, because, while it was overcast all day, the sun broke through at the last minute in a most peculiar, other-worldly manner. Here's a view from inside the house.
To give an idea of how the window glass filters out the color when the camera is used, here's a view from outside the window, as the sun got lower.
And speaking of heavenly images, here's something else I found:
Yeah, I know, modern art sucks and all that. But I can't bear to throw it away. (Hmmm.. Maybe now that it's online, it doesn't matter what happens to the original.) MORE: By way of comparison, here's Salvador Dalí's "News of the

But then again it is believable as contemporary "art". dre · November 25, 2008 11:34 AM Leave it there and frame it in place. That way you get modern art out of something natural! Donna B. · November 25, 2008 07:23 PM Wonderful sunset! But maybe you should clean your windows;) Billigflug · November 26, 2008 04:08 AM Post a comment
